night where mitt romney shows up in a different way. so when that happens how does that influence your work? or does it? >> sure it influences it to the extent we have to see if there is a change in polls, is this real or a temporary statistical blip. but we cannot control for every factor in a campaign. for the set pieces, the conventions, and the debates which we have to kind of wait and see how people react. i certainly don't think obama did very well in the debate but sometimes you'll have -- it doesn't show up in a big way in the polls a couple of days later. >> my friends swear by you. people are following your blog and sending out emails so you have this huge following out there, and you can follow nate on twitter @fivethirtityeight. the book is called "the signal and the noise." so let's talk about what you are seeing from your data analysis. >> we had obama up by about four or five points before the debate. my guess would be now that is down to two to three points or maybe a little bit smaller. we'll see what happens with the j

romney has no evidence of changing the game. i agree on the first that romney had a good night. i did not know if it changed the game. wal-mart sponsors their focus groups with momentum analysis, a democratic polling firm, and one of his partners at democratic strategies. together they suggest that it was a win for romney. they were debated between a win for romney and a tie. on the other hand, they said they were disappointed with the president's performance and it cannot believe he made the case for how another four years would be different or better. making the point that neither one of these guys really connected with voters on a personal level but clearly romney did a superior job of debating it. there's no question romney won the debate. the question is how much does that change things? in terms of national polls, there's no question he will get a few points out of this. the harder and more relative points is, number one, does the move ohio? does he moved the swing voters in these swing states? that's what's really relevant here. i have no idea. in my view, you show me an
